I Wrecked My House

Dave's basement started as a finished space; he told his wife Cheryl that he would de-finish it, refinish it and when he was done, she'd have a beautiful finished space; Dave ripped out his basement, replaced everything with carpet and blankets.

Rita is not handy, but she is creative; she fixes a leak in her living room ceiling, a puppy pad, kitchen cupboards, screen doors with duct tape.

Gardner is creative; he fixes his staircase balusters with hockey sticks; his under-the-cabinet kitchen lighting is made from trailer lights; every room in the house features a fetching and eye-catchingly-large hole.

Greg is a well-meaning unhandy man who has a natural talent for causing more damage than he fixes, evidenced by his missing renovation-related index finger; despite being a painter unfinished paint and patchwork are hallmarks here.

Gabe's Oakville home has no kitchen, no living room, no sink and it's missing a necessary weight-bearing wall, which he took out; unless you've ever had to go to the basement to do dishes, you can't imagine life in this home.

Josh is funny, so, you might almost think that his house is an elaborate joke; his house of disconnected cabinets, poorly-patched holes and terrifying electrical work gives our team of renovators lots to do and little time to do it.
